Great fun during Children’s Week with Stories in the Street

What a great Children’s Week it was with those great storytellers in the street. Plenty of children and carers came and listened to their favourite stories told by Castlemaine’s favourite story tellers.

Children’s Week is a national event recognising the talents, skills, achievements and rights of children and young people.

Children’s Week is delivered by MACCN in partnership with the Mount Alexander Shire Council with support from the Victorian Department of Education and Training.
